Here’s another batch of HWYFI’s :
1. Toho gave Godzilla a villain-to-hero character arc like in the Showa era? Do you think it could be done in a more serious and realistic manner?
2. You could make a cameo as an extra in a Godzilla-related production?
3. Godzilla became part of a mated pair with a female extraterrestrial Kaiju? I am thinking something like with Erebus and Redmoon, only with Godzilla substituting the latter.
4. Godzilla acquired psychic abilities?
1. I feel like the Heisei continuity was trying to do this at one point. Godzilla starts out as a villain, becomes a slightly sympathetic villain in GvMGII, is as close to a hero as he gets in GvSG, but GvD doesn't really follow up on this. While he's still portrayed sympathetically, he ultimately becomes a bigger threat than Destoroyah due to the meltdown, and then the series ends after that. That being said, I'm open to Toho doing it again, and I'd like to see how they could pull it off.
2. Heck yeah. I'd like to be an US Navy crewmate in an obligatory "Godzilla-destroys-a-foreign-submarine" scene at the start of the movie.
3. Believe it or not, I'm not
completely averse to a Godzilla "romance" plot, but it needs to be handled with tact and subtlety, and I think part of that would necessitate making the other a female member of his own species. I'd really rather they didn't do this.
4. It could be cool but I think Godzilla has plenty of abilities to his name already. However, I do wish more films would engage in the ESP bits touched on by the Heisei era. I think a psychic monster would be a great idea, but I don't think it necessarily needs to be Godzilla. Maybe you could argue Mothra is already a psychic kaiju.
